Spinks Ships Another Big Pot

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Jonathan Spinks has been on a tear in the past few hours, and he has just won a pot that has bumped him into the top 10 of the chip counts. We missed the hand, but as we were walking over, Oscar Kemps was walking away, as {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} laid in front of him, and his chips were being moved over to Spinks, who had {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} laying in front of him. After stacking his chips, it looks like Spinks is at around 270,000.

Spinks has been getting a massage since dinner break, and one player noted "He hasn't lost a pot since you started massaging him. Can you just like pinch his shoulder or something and put him to sleep?" The whole table got a laugh out of that, including Spinks, and the players went back to work on the next hand.
